Today

My idea tonight, to mark the passing of two years of blogging, was to select a favorite post from each of the past twelve months. Reading through the archives this evening I found I couldn't possibly do that, as some months were so full of wonderful things and others full of sadness of some sort or another, and other months were filled with posts but empty of any real thoughtfulness... and how do I choose among them for a favorite?

Being easier on myself, and not so much in the mood for making all those links, I thought instead I'd post just twelve favorite photos from the past year, but I can't even seem to do that. Most of the photos I share here are so essentially tied to the mood of the posts that I can't really separate them.

I can say that my enjoyment in blogging hasn't diminished, although my enthusiasm has waned from time to time. I'm still glad you come around for a visit now and again and hope you'll continue to share your friendship here with me. I do wonder what we'll dream up to ramble on about in this next year.

Happy, happy blogiversary Laura! I know exactly what you mean. The rapture has now worn off and now my blog and I have settled into a routine relationship, and sometimes I long for the early days of the romantic love of the posts I used to create. Now, we are comfortable in our sweats and occasionally we don't get along at all, but we're still worth fighting for I suppose as the words still come, albeit in a different way. :c)

Laura, lately, I'm late visiting. You are always on the top of my list - every day. You have inspired me from the beginning of my own blog - a year ago, wow. I have learned a lot from you and when I am frazzled (often), your posts calm me down. And I thank you for that.

Our enthusiasm for blogging lacks at times - I think we all experience it.

Have no fear, LH, life has a way of dispensing more irony, angst, and beauty than any one writer can concieve. Particularly with an eye cast towards the policial realm, material shan't be a problem...Congrats.
